[quote who="lifekatana" reply="17" id="2340652"]So If someone had 50 disconnects by some stupid networking problem(maybe his own problem, maybe Stardocks) he wouldnt be able to join the majority of the games?![/quote] ABSOLUTELY! AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO! If you have networking issues that cause you to consistently drop from the game then you need to FIX the issues or play something else. This is a t
I understand your frustration bro. ANd i also want to say thanks. THe reason I say thanks is that you are looking for total games played which is more indicative of a persons experience. I know there is still some question to their skill level but experience isn't related to wins versus losses. SInce this is a Team game, getting put on a bad team, or with a team where someone drops / quits or going up against a lot of premades really tanks the ole win loss ratio.
If you change the mobo out for the same make / model then it isn't a problem. OEM copies are definitely tied to the motherboards and MS has the ability with Vista to tell if you changed your motherboards out. Im really hoping that they still can't tell with XP since i pre-order win7 upgrade lol. The AMD Phenom II is a good proc. I had to call up MaximumPC and ask their opinion on the i7 versus phenom, they suggested i7. Hey, the MaximumPC guys should po
Thanks for the advice Kestral i'll let you know how it goes! j
Ke5strel, Would you mind reviewing my oak build and letting me know the flaws? I've tried build similar to yours against AI however i typically stacked since i didnt necessarily need the armor. 1. Shield I 2. Pen I 3. Divine I 4. Soul I 5. SOF I 6. Pen II 7. Shield II 8. Shield III (If the other team has a good stunner otherwise i get Pen III) 9. Hold or
Those are good points psy!
Hey, If sigil is active do the priests minions heal you for the sigil % as well? j
oh wow Ryat you must be around my age lol Commodore 64 was my first taste of the addiction. Im trying to get my 3 yr old son to start playing so i get more playtime. Plus he thinks non-gamers are ghey. Whoever is putting those ads out needs to listen to a little more Dan Savage and a lot less Janeane Garafalo. j
I HIGHLY recommend building your own system. This months maximumPC magazine and/or online articiles will guide you through all of the steps. It is surprisingly easy so don't be intimidated. Seriously. You will get a lot more computing power per $ than purchasing a prebuild system. You also have the internets to be able to ask questions. I certainly dont mind helping out at all. The specs i recommend are: 1. Core i7 920 - this is easi
Try Harpo's suggestion. did you try these? 4. Winsock XP fix Follow the instructions here: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html 5. Possible bug with XP service pack 3 (i dontk now if you are running vista or XP) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=6ADAF000-E2AA-4EAF-81F4-6AF385768280&displaylang=en

Yea trying to hit an erebus while he's playing pocket pool in the rooks trousers is always difficult. General Minions have to walk around the creeps, perhaps demi's should have to walk around other demis? j oh also as of note: "this has come up a bunch of times, no solution has yet been implemented" Don't berate GPG too much, they're obviously still working on making the game better.
Awesome thanks!
Running fine on my win 7 64 bit asus rampage II extreme, i7 920 oc'd, 6 gigs corsair ram, creative x-fi MB
Assumptions on my part since MSN works: Your DHCP, default gateway and possibly static IP are verified as OK. Also assumed is that you didnt install himachi. 1. Virus scan and spyware scan your system. 2. Try flushing your DNS cache (I doubt this will work) http://www.tech-faq.com/flush-dns.shtml 3. Try changing your DNS settings to opendns. I honestly have no idea how well it would work
I play mostly as Oak as well (and a little QoT and Sedna) Beginning - scale + banded + vlemish + nimoth i avoid minion boosting since i typically dont get any minions until i can afford priests IV (then archers IV) and if i could use a wee bit more DPS then i'll get grunts IV for endgame mid-game i go for hauberk + unbreakable boots and then platemail of the crusader. late game - godplate if i am lucky. these arent minion boosting entirely since i h
Long live Oak!!! lmao :) (Oak is my fav) I tend to get teleport favor item when the game is spiriling down to the map then click on the item shop a couple of times before the camera stops moving. the helps negate that 3-4 seconds. then i port as close as possible to the experience or health flag. Im usually close or on my second flag before the opposing team is on their first flag. j
Hey ya'll GPG is aware of the issues and have been working diligently on fixing them. There are definitely some growing pains but things are better now than they were a month ago and will be better a month from now. Hrmmm reminds me of my first quake 3 clan [QCB] let's have a contest and see who can figure our what that means lol Anyways, we all have to work to try and make the community better for everyone. A lot of people are hatin' on the game, it's a da
Awesome post Taco! only 3 replies though lol? I've been on the receiving of the punishment from enraged_camel and angry pidgeon a few times, and they've been gracious in their wins which is nice. (As opposed to some 14 yr old shouting leetspeak) Played a game with boemkool last night, we had a player disconnect fairly early on (and then one on the opposing team did) we ended up losing the match but he was cool to play with and it was a very close game. <
Are you saying this because of how much gold you guys got ganking me last night :)
#3 Shield rank level III prevents interrupts including foul grasp. I typically play oak with teleport favor item so when i'm playing against UB i cant wait to get my shield III lol. I also usually dont get spend any additional skill points in shield after level III. But then again my record kinda blows so I wouldn't listen to me about strategies :)
Personally I think the community as a whole has to embrace new players and guide them through game. The one thing that ruined the Quake 3 community and drove a lot of players away was how new players were treated. If you guys enjoy playing this game then it is your own personal responsibility to get new guys up to speed otherwise you are part of the problem and not the solution. Absoleus, just be patient, we all went through the learning curve. Hell im sti
I am so sorry for you. Please keep your head up, my Aunt just beat stage III rectal cancer so it Can be done! j
